The Catholic Charities San Francisco Boys' and Girls' Home (SFBGH) are an alternative to incarceration and provide vulnerable youth a highly structured environment, staffed 24 hours a day, plus a host of mental health and re-habilitative services. The SFBGH Boys program serves pre and post adjudicated teen boys ages 13-18.
